Sorry, you need to add your device name to the end of the above command, like "debugfs -c -R 'dump <8> /tmp/journal' /dev/hda1" or whatever. It will dump the journal inode (#8) to the file /tmp/journal. But that is just a raw block dump, you would need to hack debugfs to do something more clever to dump the logical structure of the journal (e.g. which transactions are present, blocks modified in each transaction, etc). Doing that would be useful and would likely get accepted into e2fsprogs pretty easily.
